Symbol Barcode Scanners :

An optical scanning device that reads texts which have been converted into a special bar code. Also known as bar-code reader. A barcode reader (or barcode scanner) is a computer peripheral for reading barcodes printed on various surfaces. Like a flatbed scanner, it generally consists of a light source, a lens and a photo conductor translating optical impulses into electrical ones. Additionally, nearly all barcode readers currently produced contain decoder circuitry analyzing the barcode's image data provided by the photo conductor and sending the barcode's content to the scanner's output port.

Designed for the maximum comfort of the user, Symbol bar code scanners help increase productivity, accuracy and revenue at checkout counters, pharmacies, hospitals and stockrooms everywhere.
